Hi Nick
This is a follow-up to a thread I started on March 16th 2015
You helped with some possible solutions, but due to personal issues, I had to exit the thread on March 19th.
Since that thread has been inactive for almost 3 months, I thought it would be best to start a new one.
Here's the original:
http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/os-x-operating-system/322846-upgraded-snow-leopard-mountain-lion-now-having-issues.html
Here's where I'm at now.
I ordered memory from OWC. You mentioned them in the original thread.
I went with the full 6 gig upgrade.
One 4 gig stick & One 2 gig stick.
I received the sticks today. I found the following apple site for directions on installing the ram.
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT1423
Now I'm afraid this isn't going to work at all.
Unless I'm missing something, according to the link above, I can only upgrade to 4gigs total.
Memory specifications
These iMac computers have two side-by-side Synchronous Dynamic Random-Access Memory (SDRAM) slots in the bottom of the computer.
The maximum amount of random-access memory (RAM) you can install in the computer is:
Computer*
Memory Type*
Maximum Memory*
iMac (Mid 2007) DDR2 4GB (2x2GB)
iMac (Early 2008) DDR2 4GB (2x2GB) *Mine*
iMac (Early 2009) DDR3 8GB (2x4GB)
At one point in the thread you stated "You could either upgrade to 4gig or 6gig"
Here's my original shipping order & IMAC specs.
Please tell me I'm missing something.
